Those plantain chips were so good, I almost felt like it was.. healthy. Dang, where can I get my next fix?

Jenny, I guess that would be the case. After all, sometimes you will have to make substitutions when ingredients are not available… Or, who knows, as you mentioned, local twists. But, if they look like a donut, won’t it be technically a donut?

The malasadas I got in Hawaii looks totally different, but I guess food will change over time and acquire a more local style. Also instead of fry bread, I got deep fried soft donuts, and some even have fillings.. YUM

Raidar, depending on who you are asking, Jamaica is part of Latin America! But, yes, the Portuguese goodies threw me off. I should also mention there was a hot dog stand as well as a gyro stand which I found odd…

Jamaican patties, Portuguese tarts…I thought this was Latin Fest! Oh wait, platanos y yuca con chicharrón. Now we are talking. All you needed was some luchadores! Great pictures as always.

Dru, welcome! I checked all my pictures and found out the name of it: pasteis de nata. Since you mention it, yes, I do recall seeing something similar in the T&Ts!
